Damnit all. I really like Phoenix Wallet for most of my basic Lightning expenses. What do people suggest as a mobile Lightning wallet now?

Is anyone building a decentralized, FOSS, on/off ramp for bitcoin using Nostr architecture?

Madeira was great. Always good to reconnect in-person. Now back to work, the real fun stuff!

Off to Madeira. Not an easy place to get to from Kenya.

Cool demo by @UNCLE ROCKSTAR and Bernard Parah (Bitnob) of a point of sale system that prints #bitcoin  vouchers and activates/uses cards at the Africa Bitcoin Conference. #btcpay

Ok, that’s a wrap here in Zambia. All checked out and running. I should probably do a more in-depth write up sometime. It might be best to say that there’s a lot more that goes into a bitcoin mining site than just running miners!

Had a good day checking out some geothermal in Kenya. A lot of opportunities in that space for mining.

Disappointed with the lack of technical honesty and lack of objectivity in MIT Tech Review piece on Bitcoin mining. “As long as bitcoin miners can profit from proof of work, Weaver says, they will choose proof of work: “The only way to reduce Bitcoin’s criminal energy consumption is for the value itself to be destroyed. If Bitcoin becomes worthless, then bitcoin mining stops.” Yes, incentives work. That’s why it was built this way. “Criminal”? Hyperbole is apparently good, solid media.
